Thanks a lot for the clarification.

So, how do we want to proceed?

Provided that Thomas' underline trick works with the MS-Windows theme,

gtkrc snippet for Windows users who want to a better visual indication
of the active tab?

That would be cleaner and easier than a new preference just for the
underlining.
